(Mission Cast) The Presence Of Christ (Psalm 8:1 ; Acts 1:8)
Jeff and Mim discuss what it means to brings Christ’s love into situations where Christ has not been named or known or has been rejected. Jeff shares a recent experience he had with a man dying in the hospital who did not “believe in God” and did not want prayer or scripture; yet, he esteemed and valued one man in his past who was a faithful ambassador of Christ’s love. Mim relates, too, a story from a recent camp in England with a man who was angry with God for all the suffering and tragedy in the world. Yet, through the steady and faithful loving witness of those around him, he softened in his heart. You may not feel adequate to the task, but God is able to make all grace abound to you so that you are sufficient in the task. All you need is to humbly offer what you have in the moment — your “five loaves and two fish.” In the hands of Jesus, it will be enough, because is a faithful witness to himself. Sometimes people reject the God represented to them, while not actually rejecting Jesus Christ. We are amazed that God has entrusted to us his gospel, for we are only broken, earthen vessels. But God, living in us, is faithful to himself. It is not about us, whether we are well-liked or esteemed. It is about Jesus and his love.
